Title: Do you like it....

Generally I don't like modern bikes in appearance, road or off road, but this one 'floats my boat'. Not so keen on the colour scheme but the 'bobbed' nothing around the steering head is a good look. I would try to even get rid of the instrument pod.

Im with you MX. Like the look not keen on colour scheem. Some moderns can look good. I like the look of my son's DR-Z 400SM. The motard gear really sets it off and handels great on the roads. Its a real joy to ride and with the few mods it has gets along quite nicely.

I love hybrids and love my Suzuki but that one just plain sucks. Try as I may I just can't anything I like about it and would take the Quicky's son's bke in a flash. Not overly keen on the original pic posted but the naked bikes do look agressive to say the least :) unlike yourself MX I think the rear looks great but the fronts missing something..maybe an extra disc just for bit of overkill :D

Ah yes, that's better - and it's maroon, what's not to like?
How chunky is the swing arm on that first bike?

Now you know why we stand up so much ???

I could tell it was only a practice bike cause it doesn't have folding footpegs ;)

Unlike the mono MV in another thread, I reckon this one would (wood?)/could be ridden.
Does anyone know if it's a goer?

I don't mean to be rude, but surely some big burly biker leaning forward over the skeleton would look… well… a… bit like……well you know… a bit of backdoor action!!!

Can't see why you would aspire to look like…  you were tooling down the road, tooling up a skeleton [not that there is anything wrong with that].

Gotta think these thing through before construction.

Post by: vmx42 on August 25, 2008, 04:55:24 pm
Yeah Freaky, bone-ing.

Perhaps it would have been better to use a canine skeleton???
